Purchase of Spirale 2018 - Vin de France Passerillé - 0,50 L - Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot
Jura - Former Domaine André and Mireille Tissot
94/100 Parker
- *Passerillé wine: Winegrowers let the grapes over-ripen and harvest them later so that they are more concentrated in sugar (the water in the grapes evaporates thanks to the hot, dry winds in the Jura vineyards).
- Tasting by Luis Gutiérrez: "The 'pseudo' vin de paille (it does not meet the requirements of the category and is therefore not sold or labelled as such) Spirale from the 2018 vintage comes from a vintage in which more sweet wine was produced. It is a blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay with a little Poulsard, which has been dehydrated for four months and pressed very early, resulting in 8% alcohol and notes of quince and baked apples, as well as 300 grams of sugar that are well integrated and balanced thanks to very good acidity."
- When to drink this wine : 2023 - 2030
- Pairings :Drink it on its own or with acidic desserts such as passion ganache, apricot tart, orangette.
